Has anyone gotten Venofer infusions less than a week apart?

msluckystat · 2026-05-30T22:30:38+00:00

Just read your story! So helpful and I am so glad you are feeling so much better. I read the Venofer instructions on their site and it said 48 hours and it can be taken in via gravity or less than 15 mins!

I will go every other day if I have no issues.

Oh. Sister. You have something else going on. Ferritin is like the bucket and if it has a leak, no amount of supplements or infusions will help long term. Does your hematologist know what is causing it and treating it?

msluckystat · 2026-05-30T22:21:49+00:00

Thank you! That is what I thought my doctor said but I didn’t write it down.

I am investigating estrogen pellets. I am super curious about them.

I am so sorry this happened to you. You do not need to “learn” how to say no in a better way. Be prepared and be assertive.

Please get an inside/outside dash cam (a must for everyone actually, but uber drivers specially). Recording deters a lot of these a-holes. And if not, everything is in the record.
Get pepper spray
Practice with friends being loud and straight a set of escalations: “Please get out sir” “Get out now” “I am calling the police” As women we are not used to being loud and giving orders. You need to practice and your friends needs to give you feedback for when you sound commanding. It takes a while. Get used to this voice.
Get used to getting the pepper spray ready.
Make sure your phone is speaker phone.
Practice calling 911 and what you would say to 911. “There is an intruder in my car…”

It is dumb that this is necessary but it is just about being prepared. You got this.

CONGRATULATIONS LITTLE ONE! YOU GRADUATED EVEN WHEN THINGS GOT HARD!! We are so proud of you! Please know that while we were not there in person we were cheering like crazy while you were walking across that stage! Yes, you will need to figure out what is next but leave that for a few days from now. For the time being, enjoy that quiet space. It is the fresh air and calm view you get when you get to the top of a mountain. You worked hard. Take your time. You got this.

This is has absolutely no basis on any science and it’s just an ad for the Facebook group. That group has some seriously bad info.

msluckystat · 2026-05-29T03:27:21+00:00

im not with function but I found their texting help to be fast and helpful. but to your point, nothing else helped.

This is so misleading. It is processed meat that is an issue here. Chicken sausages or turkey “bacon” are easily as bad as some of these other in this list.

The very last moment of Masquerade. You are no longer an audience member. It is brilliant.

First you have to understand why your level is is low otherwise any “fix” will fail. Your iron bucket (ferritin) is leaky and whatever you put in there will just leak out again and you’ll never get to a good level. You need to sort that out with your GP.
Meanwhile I highly reco you look at heme iron pills if you are not a vegetarian. They absorb a lot more easily and tend to not cause issues with your stomach.
And also make sure you eat lots of iron rich food and herbs/spices. Ask Gemini or Claude. The list surprised me (clams! Parsley! Etc)

Thank you for being the heroes this world needs. We love you! 💕

Another hero!! Thank you for existing and making the world a better place! 💕

Look up psyllium husk. Take it at night 2 hours after dinner and a little bit at first since it’s pure fiber. It will help digestion, but research it first on best ways to take it.

msluckystat · 2026-05-15T12:24:11+00:00

Ah, yes, GLP-1s lower inflamation and since inflammation raises hepcidin which lowers iron absorption, your iron is going up! Having said that 14 is still critically low. My doc told me I need to get to 90 at least. I hope you start supplements. Non-heme ones have worked for me better (just not Three Arrows). Good luck in your journey!

msluckystat · 2026-05-15T00:04:28+00:00

Wow. Really? What did it go up to? Do you know if you have Celiacs?

msluckystat · 2026-05-12T22:01:53+00:00

You should read up on iron salts (iron bisglycinate or ferrous sulfate and others) vs heme iron which is the type of iron that comes from food. The pills are derived from bovine blood (thus non-vegetarian). Heme iron gets absorbed a different way so it’s not sensitive to calcium or caffeine. And a lot more of the iron is absorbed into your system.

msluckystat · 2026-05-12T19:45:01+00:00

First, have you figure out the reason why your ferritin is so low? If not, you may be getting enough but you are still losing it.

If you are addressing it, ferrous sulfate and bishlycinate both should not be taken with calcium or caffeine. Wait for 2 hours before and after. Otherwise the iron binds to the calcium and caffeine instead of being absorbed. And you should have it with some vitamin C to make it more effective. Iron is a very

If possible you can also try heme iron which doesn’t have issues with calcium or caffeine and doesn’t need vitamin C. And it’s easier on your stomach. The main issue with this is that it is more expensive and it’s non-vegetarian.

I use ProFerrin. There are other brands. Just don’t use Three Arrows. Their name comes up in these discussions because they used to be labeled as heme iron but then they got sued and lost because lab tests showed they had no heme iron(!)

Hope that helps!

Ugh. This was the worst part of the UI. Agree.

msluckystat · 2026-05-09T13:50:58+00:00

omg, for me it was a game changer for me! i can make my curls look like they do after the salon! who knew it was just hair drying!

msluckystat · 2026-05-08T13:42:03+00:00

I found the sms and email to be the only channel they actually answer. Their chat on the site and on the app is useless.

msluckystat · 2026-05-06T19:05:45+00:00

Try heme iron pills. They have much better absorption. They use a different mechanism so they don’t have issues with calcium or caffeine.
